This course is for users who do not have SAS programming experience but need to access, manage, and summarize data from different sources, and present results in reports and graphs. This course focuses on using the menu-driven tasks in SAS Enterprise Guide, the point-and-click interface to SAS, to create queries and reports. It does not address writing SAS code or statistical concepts. This course is the SAS Enterprise Guide 1: Querying and Reporting course complemented with topics from the SAS Enterprise Guide 2: Advanced Tasks and Querying course, like grouping, filtering, and using SAS functions. It also serves as a prerequisite for the SAS Enterprise Guide: ANOVA, Regression, and Logistic Regression course, which teaches statistical concepts using SAS Enterprise Guide. This course is available as instructor-led training.
